As part of a regular testing protocol, I underwent routine COVID-19 testing on Friday, November 13 in Carson City. A rapid test provided a positive result. I also received a diagnostic PCR test and those results are pending at this time. ImageImageImage
At this time, I am not experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. Earlier this week, I felt a little fatigue, which I attributed to my demanding schedule. No other symptoms were experienced.
Prior to today’s test, I received negative results on all previous tests – including my last two regular COVID tests conducted on Monday, Nov. 2 and Friday, Nov. 6. Consistent with guidelines from the CDC and the DHHS, I am isolating and continuing to monitor my symptoms.
All public events have been canceled at this time. I remain in constant contact with my staff and my Cabinet and the work of the Governor’s Office will continue remotely.
With this case, I want to underscore the importance of Nevadans to stay at home as much as they possibly can at this time. There were more than 1,800 new cases identified in Nevada yesterday and cases are growing at a rate of 1.3 percent or 1,402 new cases per day.

Fellow Nevadans - we are at a critical juncture in our response to #COVID19. Today, we recorded 2,269 new cases, including mine. I again want to underscore the importance for Nevadans to stay home when they can to help protect themselves and our communities. Image
We reported more than 25,167 tests today – another record high for our State. I am encouraged by Nevadans who are getting tested so they can take action to quarantine & prevent the spread to their family & friends. Our 14-day positivity rate continues to climb & stands at 14.9%.
Across the country, #COVID19 is surging once again. We know more now than we did then. We know that physical distancing, face coverings and frequent hand washing can help slow the spread. We also know that limiting your exposure to others is critical with high transmission rates.

Good evening, thank you for being here tonight for this important COVID-19 update. Tonight, I am grateful that @RenownCEOTonyMD, the president & chief executive officer at Renown Health is here with me to share the burden COVID is having on our communities.
Our country & our state are on a rough course right now. New cases, hospitalizations and – tragically - fatalities are on the rise. The fall spike, predicted by medical & scientific experts, is now our reality. Nevadans need to accept this reality & change behaviors immediately.
I am encouraged by this week’s news about a potential COVID vaccine. It gives me hope and should give you hope. Our Nevada team is closely monitoring these updates and adjusting our vaccine distribution framework so we are ready when the time comes.

Good afternoon, thank you for joing me for today's #COVID19 update. I am joined today by COVID-19 Response Director Caleb Cage & Ms. Julia Peek, who is leading our contact tracing efforts from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.
First, a national update: The 7-day average of new cases in the U.S. exceeded 70,000 for the first time & more than half the states are reporting case numbers at new records. In the last month, the number of COVID hospitalizations in the U.S. climbed 45%.
Nationwide, trends are indicating that new cases are being driven by relatively small gatherings of families and friends where folks are more likely to let their guards down. That’s the COVID fatigue setting in. We must overcome it.

Good afternoon & thanks for tuning into today's press conference about our plan to roll out a #COVID19 vaccine when an FDA-approved one becomes available. I am joined by members of the @DhhsNevada team today who have been working on this plan since the start of this pandemic.
Earlier this month, @DhhsNevada submitted a draft of our state specific plan - or “playbook,” as we refer to it - for COVID-19 vaccine planning, to @CDCgov. While the plan is still in draft form, I am eager to share some details today. It will also be released this afternoon.
I want to be very clear with Nevadans: there are still many steps in the process before a vaccine is finalized and ready for distribution.

But I also want Nevadans to know: the State has been planning for months, and the State will be ready when the time comes.

Thanks for joining me today, Nevada. I wanted to provide an update on our current COVID-19 situation and how what we do as Nevadans in the coming days and weeks can make the difference as the country faces a fall surge. Follow along⬇️
Today, I am not announcing a new directive or more restrictions. I want to be able to continue on the path we’re currently on. I want to open more, not close. I want kids back in school. I want Nevadans back to work.
I know this pandemic has been exhausting & overwhelming, but our mission remains unchanged:
- Follow public health recommendations
- Mitigate the spread to prevent more deaths & protect our health care system
- Protect our economy & businesses
- Get kids back to school safely

COVID-19 isn’t political. It doesn’t know there’s an upcoming election.

On the other hand, the virus is highly infectious. According to the CDC, about 2/3 of COVID infections come from people who show no symptoms. That's why health officials recommend avoiding large gatherings.
As I mentioned yesterday, our cases are rising — similar to the increasing trends we are seeing nationwide. How do we mitigate? We listen to health officials: We wear masks. We practice social distancing.

We don’t hold large gatherings where these measures aren’t followed.
It’s our responsibility as Americans to practice the public health measures that federal, state & local health officials all agree on. And it’s the obligation of America’s leaders to follow that same advice.
